Laser Dentistry - Cochrane
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a dental specialty in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, defects and injuries to the hard and soft tissues of the jaws, mouth, neck and face. Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons complete four to six years of training in addition to dental school. Oral & maxillofacial surgeons perform a variety of surgeries, including:
are less invasive
are less painful
require less anesthesia
heal more quickly
may be completed in fewer visits
Lasers can replace drills for many dental procedures on the teeth and gums. The advantages are clear: the lasers do not cause heat, vibration or pressure the way that traditional drills do. This allows the dentist to perform treatment with less aggravation to surrounding tissue, which reduces healing time. The laser causes less pain than a drill, so fewer anesthetics are required, which may allow the dentist to perform a treatment in fewer visits.
Laser technology is also revolutionizing teeth whitening, accelerating the action of peroxide gels to achieve stunning results.
Lasers are used in place of scalpels to remove tumors painlessly, extract tissue precisely for biopsy, and perform frenectomy procedures to ‘untie tongues’ in babies, children and adults.

Laser Dentistry
Technology
Laser technology has replaced traditional dental tools in many procedures, and its applications continue to increase as the technology is further refined. Lasers of different wavelengths are used for a variety of dental applications. In offering our patients laser procedures, we offer treatments that:
are less invasive
are less painful
require less anesthesia
heal more quickly
may be completed in fewer visits

Waterlase
The Waterlase MD is a revolutionary dental device that uses a combination of YSGG laser energy and water, a process called Hydrophonics, to perform many traditional dental procedures and less anesthesia. It transforms the experience for both us and you the patient. It offers a less invasive and more precise form of treatment that conserves healthy tooth structure. The waterlase emits a laser beam that energizes a highly precise spray of air and water, and this laser is used to cut teeth instead of the traditional method. Patient anxiety is reduced and a more comfortable appointment is experienced as well.
BlueWave Laser
in Cochrane, Alberta
The BlueWave laser is a new soft tissue laser used to perform minor soft tissue procedures such as shaping the gum tissue, frenectomy, and debridement of pathologic gingival tissue.
